Re: What camera do you use?

I use a Nikon D3100 that I bought of Ebay some time back. My setup is a lot like Ghosthunters as well. I did tweak some setting and have it set on Manual and not Automatic all though both settings take great pictures.

Re: The Very Best of 2020

It truly is a toss up for me this year. The Grand Prix set is something I have been after for a while and the 26a with SPW is one of the best I have seen. Super excited to add both of these to my collection this past year. I did have to replace the models in the gift set as they were not on the same...

Re: Looking for some hard to find models!

Good Afternoon all, Well my original listing has gotten quite small as I have acquired most of the models on my list. The only one left is still the 11a Road Tanker in Green. For some reason this model still eludes me in high grade. I was close to securing one about a year ago but the deal never cam...

Re: Gift Set Insert Repair

Well, it took a while and a lot of patience but I finally got the gift set back to looking like it should. I still want to upgrade the models and shrink wrap it like it originally was sold. I am quite happy with the way it turned out after what I got in the mail. Hope you enjoy and Thanks for lookin...

Re: Gift Set Insert Repair

Here are some pictures of the gift set. I had asked them to package the cars individually but they did not do that. The packaging was adequate but the weight of the cars and our wonderful postal service saw fit to shake things up a bit. I did get a refund from the seller as they didn't know much abo...

Gift Set Insert Repair

Tossing this question out to the members to see if anyone has had success in restoring the thermoform (vacuform) plastic inserts that were used in gift sets. I recently purchased a G-4 Race Track Gift and the inner plastic sleeve is in need of some repair. I've thought about warming the plastic with...

Matchbox GT40

Hi everyone, not a normal area for me but I have always loved the Ford GT40. I have started to collect the Matchbox GT40's and wonder if there is a complete list with color variations available. I know it was basically produced under 3 different numbers MB41, MB634 & MB995. Thanks and let me kno...

Re: 50a box price

If that one went for £222 I wold hate to see what this one would bring. If your wondering it is an original box virtually untouched. I was also amazed at what the 22B box brought as well.
